A beautifully aesthetic room with great amenities alongside a relaxing common room where we had great late night chats. Location was a major plus being so closed to the beach erased the stress about parking. I got to mee some of the locals and staff members who were nothing but lovely.

Liked: Amenities
The room was small but functional. The small kitchenette was well equipped and the balcony was nice to sit on in the evenings. The place definitely needs a lick of paint and we had some issues with cockroaches coming through gaps in the tiles, but it is Australia after all. The lady at reception was very friendly and helpful, providing us with new towels when asked and allowing us to store our luggage for a few hours when we checked out. Overall it does the job for a short stay at a low cost
